Can you paint bamboo blinds.
We just replaced the hardwood floors.
Use what you have on hand.
You can paint bamboo blinds to customize them into the existing theme of your home.
Paint one side of each slat with with acrylic based enamel paint using a paintbrush.
In the next picture the left side has 2 coats and the right side only one.
And then spray until the brown is gone.

We painted the trim all in sw alabaster one of my 50 favorite colors.
But i have always dreaded the mess smell and preparation.
Yes our bamboo mini blinds.
So quick and easy.
We just painted these mini blinds.
There are several different options for painting and not all of them need a paintbrush.
Step 1 prepare the bamboo.
You just need to hang the blinds in a way to be able to open and close the blinds.
I used two trestles and some leftover wood.
I did attach a white liner to the back with spray adhesive which helps a little.
Painting bamboo blinds painting is a task i love.
It doesn t really bother me but i wanted to give you a heads up if you plan on doing a similar project.
Cut a 19 x 14 section out of your bamboo blinds to make an easy diy placemat.
This type of paint will hold up well over time and is easy to clean.
Secure your woven section with this technique.
Apply paint on the edges and then set each.
It s not a difficult job even for those without any genuine artistic talent.
That s not an obstacle to painting the piece but you want to clean it thoroughly first because penetrating oils tend to pick up dirt.
I want to show you how.
This is our breakfast room.
Bamboo isn t as porous as wood but penetrating oils still soak in and if you have a newish piece of bamboo furniture it may have a coat of tung or linseed oil.
All these years i have stayed away from painting for these reasons and many more such as lack of knowledge space constraints difficulties of painting with a toddler at home and even the impatience of having to let dry between coats.
